Launch of Last Kiss by Louise Phillips

The third installment of Louise Phillips series featuring criminal psychologist, Dr Kate
Pearson, is launched on August 12th, 6.30pm in Eason's in St Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. If you're in Dublin then I'm sure she'd be delighted to see you there to set Last Kiss off into the world. The first two books were both shortlisted for the Irish crime novel of the year, the second, The Doll's House, winning the award in 2013. Here's the blurb for Last Kiss.

In a quiet suburb, a woman desperately clings to her sanity as a shadowy presence moves objects around her home.

In a hotel room across the city, an art
dealer with a dubious sexual past is found butchered, his body arranged
to mimic the Hangman card from the Tarot deck.

But what connects them?

When criminal psychologist Dr Kate
Pearson is brought in to help investigate the murder, she finds herself
plunged into a web of sexual power and evil which spreads from Dublin to
Paris, and then to Rome.

Will Kate discover the identity of the
killer before it's too late to protect the innocent? But what separates
the innocent from the guilty when the sins of the past can never be
forgotten?
